Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has declared that the ongoing crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is normal.
Lawal made this declaration on Sunday when he paid a condolence visit to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State over the death of his eldest brother, Sunday Makinde.
The governor, while addressing the gathering, maintained that PDP needed to learn lessons from certain mistakes.
He added that the resolution of the governors’ meeting in Delta State showed that the party is making efforts to emerge stronger and lead Nigeria to the promised land.
Lawal further declared that the decision of the party to back S.K.E. Ude-Okoye as the party’s national secretary remained valid.
He insisted that the party would emerge stronger from its crisis.
He said: “Concerning what is currently going on in the PDP; in politics, there are always issues. What happened in Delta two days ago shows that we are making strides to return to the people and lead this country.
“We [governors] are the leaders of this party. We have a say, and whatever we say is what will be implemented.
“There is nothing really wrong with the PDP. The ongoing crisis is normal and happens in other parties too. So, it is nothing new. It is one of those things.
“This will make us even stronger because we need to learn from certain mistakes, and that will be a learning process.”
